Originally posted by RagnorakScag, do you not think that that type of penalty claim is seen in 1 or 2 games every week? Player knocks ball away from keeper and carries on running towards him in the hope of being brought down. It's hardly "blatant cheating" and it's certainly not just Gerrard and/or the "foreign" contingent that try it.
Boy, do you think Gerrard's blatant cheating cost him a couple of legitimate penalties yesterday? It's a pity a good player like Gerrard is after getting a reputation as such a cheat. And, heaven forbid, he's English as well.

As for the other, it wasn't a penalty. But that's only because it was outside the box. It was a free kick
